UPDATE: Atlanta Hawks star point guard Trae Young is set to be reevaluated in approximately two weeks as he recovers from a sprained right MCL. This news comes after Young has missed a total of 15 consecutive games since suffering the injury during a victory against the Brooklyn Nets on October 29.
The Hawks have reported that Young’s recovery is progressing well, giving fans hope for his return. As the reigning assists champion, he is currently averaging 17.8 points and 7.8 assists this season. His absence has been felt, yet the Hawks have managed to stay competitive, boasting a 10-5 record without him.
In Young’s absence, forward Jalen Johnson has stepped up significantly, contributing to the team’s success with 10 double-doubles, including two triple-doubles, during this challenging stretch. The Hawks are gearing up for their next challenge against the Cleveland Cavaliers as they continue to navigate the season without their star player.
Young was seen getting some shots up during warmups ahead of Friday night’s game, indicating that he is making progress. Fans and teammates alike are eagerly awaiting the upcoming reevaluation, which could signal a potential return mid-December.
This development is vital for the Hawks as they aim to maintain their momentum in the Eastern Conference. The team must continue to perform at a high level while hoping for Young’s swift return to the court.
Stay tuned for more updates on Trae Young’s injury status as the Hawks prepare for their upcoming games.
